My ultrawide monitor (LG WL500) supports 2560x1080 natively. Due to this res not being shown by MacOs out of the box, I decided to try RDM. The problem is that setting up that res (I also enable HiDPI), leads to have two large black bands at the top and at the bottom of the screen. Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks.

@niccolomineo RDM can add scaled resolutions if the native resolution is working, but if the native resolution doesn’t work, then you should add a patched EDID manually or add resolution with SwitchResX. Is it on a Mac or a hackintosh?

It's a 2018 13" Macbook Pro. I would like to accomplish this without a third-party software, if possible. I have a few questions:

Ok, I (rather blindly) bought a 4K HDMI adapter off Amazon and it's working! I got the 2560x1080. So I guess there's hardly a way to do without the proper physical HDMI adapter.
